Description

A self-consistent model of the L to H transition has been derived from coupled non-linear envelope equations for the fluctuation level, and radial electric field shear, E'r. This model is based on general properties of the coupling between turbulence and averaged sheared flows. To extract these generic properties several turbulence models have been investigated. Here, some of the results obtained with the resistive pressure gradient driven turbulence are presented with special emphasis on the structure of the Reynolds stress and the existence of limit cycle solutions.
